That article is old. Many of the names on that list have since gotten jobs, so it had pretty good foresight. Caputo would have been on it as they mentioned, but Miami's situation was in doubt at the time. They've since been cleared of wrongdoing. So he's probably the best high major assistant out there who's clean. He ought to be on Siena's list of candidates submitted by the search firm. Just because Miami isn’t having guys get arrested doesn’t mean they are anywhere close to clean... there’s a reason he hasn’t been mentioned with any jobs this offseason and won’t be formally mentioned with ours. He’s a talented coach but there’s baggage that will keep him out this hiring cycle. The individual who implicated them had his indictment dismissed and it appears Miami had no knowledge of his activities: www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article200354969.html

And I’m sure Larrañaga’s attorney is the most reliable source on whether Miami is clean or not. I’m not going to pretend that I know everything that is going on down there. But I do know what I have been told from good sources nationally, and that’s that there is dirt on Caputo and that dirt will hold him back in a search, just as it will hold back a lot of college basketball assistants this year and as long as the FBI thing clouds CBB.

I asked this before: Is Caputo more wishful thinking or do we have reason to believe he is really interested? And why the love for him and not other assistants like G Mac or Andrew Francis?

Only thing you can hope for is that the new coach is out recruiting this weekend.He can get hired this week and meet the players.Find out who maybe leaving and who's staying.And find out who he's keeping.But it's so late in the process that you can be talking about a 2 year rebuild possibly.I don't know but that's the way it's looking.

Siena has to get the new coach announced no later than this Friday. They simply have to move quickly.

There isn’t a player on this roster that I would lose any sleep over if they left. We need a coach with solid D1 recruiting ties and who is a proven recruiter. It’s 90% of the game, you don’t have the right talent I don’t care how well you coach you’re a mid pack team at best.

There isn’t a player on this roster that I would lose any sleep over if they left. I don't disagree on that but you have to give the new coach a chance to recruit and bring in some talent for next year. We're going to have to sign at least 2 or 3 players. This is where we really do need a JUCO. Remember Fran needed bodies when he got the job and signed two JUCOs role players - Levi Osby and Diop. We have to scholarships open now and probably another 2 or 3 will open once the dust settles. Not a bad thing though. I would like to keep Prince and Penn but nobody is irreplaceable. Fran lost a future all-ACC player and he managed to turn things around quickly (we were lucky to get Kenny Hasbrouck in June - here's hoping that happens again!)

Let the process play out and get it done right.

I agree it can’t be a miss this time. No room for error. Don’t rush it just get it right.

Jon Rothstein Verified account @jonrothstein 24m24 minutes ago More Macalester College (Division III) will hire Abe Woldeslassie as its next head basketball coach, per a source. Woldeslassie was on staff at Siena last season.
Good luck to Abe- glad he landed on his feet. The rest of the former assistants will have a much harder time.

Best news of the day. Always worry that the good guys get screwed in a scandal like this. Instead he gets a HC job in his home state at his alma mater! Great stuff.
congrats Abe!
